I passed a house this weekend that had a bunch of stuff spread on blankets in the yard, and a large sign which proclaimed that they were having a "FREE SALE".
"Who are you? I must know!" "Get used to disappointment." (from the Princess Bride) [sorry; I guess I hang out with enough PB-soaked geeks, I assume anyone'll get a PB reference. Ack.]
I'm just like everyone else; a mass of contradictions.... I want things to go my way, but I'm often disappointed by the outcome when they do. I love solitude, but choose to spend most of my time with people. I long for, but am terrified of, permanence. Learning to embrace (or at least endure) loss of any kind is my greatest challenge.
I live in Oneonta with my good friend Joel, my ex-boyfriend's cat, Clovis, and a ton of plants.

Please provide address and directions to this yard sale.
You ask in your Links column who Dx is. You must make you questions much more simple if he is to have any chance of answering them.
What?! You don't know the dialogue of the Princess Bride by heart?! ;-)
Now you've lost me completely.
Princess Bride????

Got to be Westley. Either that or it's Engelbert's brother, the prince.
Am I getting close?
Yes! Westley! (ie: The Man in Black) Hooray! 6 points for you! (why 6? It's a good number)
I suppose 6 points are better than 666 points, which is what I usually score.
